Programme: TENDER UE Copernicus-Mercator Ocean
Project title: Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring In Situ Thematic Assembly Center
Acronym: CMEMS TAC INSITU
Duration: 01/01/2018 – 31/03/2021
Total budget: € 6.000.000
ISMAR budget: € 70.000

Summary:
The In Situ TAC is the component of the Copernicus Marine Service which ensures a consistent and reliable access to a range of in situ data for the purpose of service production and validation.
In Situ TAC has two main objectives:
- To collect multi-source, multi-platform, heterogenous data, perform consistent quality control and distribute it in a common format (NetCDF) and in near-real-time (within 24 hours) to the CMEMS Marine Forecasting Centres (MFC), for assimilation into their numerical ocean models.
- To supply the MFCs and downstream users with re-processed 25-50-year products in delayed mode. In addition to the near-real-time products, these delayed-mode products are useful for model validation or assimilation in ocean reanalysis and climate studies.
